"In 1970, congressman Ott exercised that option." British humor at its absolute best.

It's amazing how long it takes to load this and how many interruptions one may expect.

[@deedeehalleck]

+silvergirl It depends on the connection you have. If you have good band width it is down-loaded quite quickly.

Commies aristocrats are interesting as suspects as well. But polezni durak. She was of the fiancial aristocratic oligarchy of Britain ex border reivers, after landed gentry, sheriffs and low nobility, till became little land, money and public service usuraries and imperial plantations Wonders. She had a Fascist Brother, and Francoist brother in law and married to an international brigadista of the Spanish Civil war. Her five sisters: one burgeoise liberal writer and gaullist lover, other fascist, another nazi, yet other rural lesbian and the last a english duchess and herself a resigned stalinist. Quintessence of a oligarchical project of relations, where all ideologic spectra are represented, second married to an azhkenazi hungarian, she was grandmother of two afro american equality activists, pinnacle of a 20th century nomenklatura and pseudo intelligentzia...

She and Nancy begged Churchill to imprison her own sister that has just given birth. Oh yes, what a wonderful woman Jessica was.

No she is a two faced person! If she had believed in her Communism "RED" she would have lived where Communism resides.... How dare she have her children born in the USA ! Why do these people live in the USA , Why??? Even Russian can't stand to live in Russia.... but they sure know how to spout Communism.... Go live in Russia if their beliefs are real then go become a Citizen.... live with the people....

Lennard, what a cruel sounding man, very embarrassing for him, he seems very angry.... Americans have not and never will quite master the wonderful English way of putting people down whilst sounding as if they are being ever so nice.

[@NuisanceMan]

Awesome talk from an awesome lady! Too bad most of her sisters were so reactionary.

[@billhaywood3503]
